Whats this MAD community upto these days?

[Spanky_McCoy]

So is anyone playing any online racers at the moment. I'm already fed up with the olympics and I need an excuse to avoid the wife.

I don't think so, I started running a Nascar server and had some fun with racermark and CJ..... I think going into spring was just the wrong time to start something tho. Maybe when winter rolls around we might have better luck!

not really looked what is about or coming for a release.

wonders when project cars will be released fully, that has huge potential

I will probably try out Iracing.com . A guy in town races on it religiously that I met. I will let you know when I do. I don't have a ton of time to spend with it but it would be fun to do at times.

I look forward to your Nascar 2003 server returning Galahad so I can stuff you into the wall at the perfect spot/time. It'll be revenge after that Daytona cheap shot What was that flying across the track at slow speed and missed the entire field? Maybe you needed the entire summer to find the speed in your car? That Watkins Glen start though was very impressive -until the bus chicane lol.

[Galahad]

Yeah, maybe I should just embrace my destiny and run a smash-up derby server with full damage!!!

[StevieM]

Still actively playing TM, currently in minipeace racing the TMT cup.
No Madlaps server anymore, inactivity I guess?

Good to hear everyone is doing well!

I can't believe three or four years have passed since I used to actively play TMN with you lot. Good times. I still remember my very first GP. I was actually quite nervous at first and everyone else went zooming off into the distance on the first lap.



I have a question and I hope to call upon your collective experiences and thoughts on this hypothetical situation.

You have two job offers in two different cities.

Job A is perfect. The company is very good and highly regarded, and actively helps people to achieve what they want. In five years, you're going to progress to exactly where you want to be and be employable all over the world with decent remuneration.

Job B is not so good, sort of like a dead end job that you don't really want to do. In five years, you're going to be pretty much where you started.

City A is perfect. The city is awesome and is frequently awarded 'The most liveable city in the country' type of awards. You've lived here in the past and you know how nice it is to live there.

City B is not so good, sort of the place that you never expected to end up and you feel stuck. When you find a nice person to talk to and you mention you might be moving, they immediately warn you not to move there at all costs.

I'm sure you can see where this is going... Job A is in City B and Job B is in City A. Which would you pick and why?

I know there are lots of other variables but I'm limiting the factors to just the job and city for now.

[mark-s]

Job A Steve, nothing worse than being stuck in a dead end job, i know, five years of living in a city (which you can get out of at the weekends), then after that the worlds yours, decent promotions see you living in the nicer cities, i see it as job A going somewhere but the night life will suck because there's nothing there, job B fantastic place to be but doing same job for the next ten years, get your head down for five years in the bad place, progress then pick back up on a good life
p.s nice to hear from you

Hello Mark

Thanks for your input. I am arriving at the same conclusion. I really want to move to Australia but before I go I want to make absolutely sure I can get a job and having the experience and qualifications that Job A will give me will without a doubt put me in that situation.

Have you moved abroad, or do you just wake up ridiculously early? 6:16am!?

[JawZ]

im ina job b and town b situation its horridable.

though gaming in aussie is horridable, our pings will be horrible! we would have to meet halfway and game on us servers for semi enjoyment.

Good effort Swat, I don't blame you at all.

Kicks Dant in the nuts


Jawz, what's stopping you picking up your stuff and moving? There's far too much amazing stuff in Australia to worry about latency and gaming.

[mark-s]

Don't even know why i was up at that time, normally sitting at pc with a cuppa at 07:00 waiting to go to work for 8, clock must be wrong on here And yes if your single and no ties then make it a plan, I have a few friends on my FB that have lived out there for years and thoroughly enjoy it, so good luck

yep its here 12:47 showing, but typing at 13:46 my time, proper time, uk time no way i'd be up at 6 m8

Such a decision is definitely one which does not suit spontaneity, Jawz. If you wish to move, you should carefully consider as much as you can think of, and then go for a walk in the countryside and ponder some more just in case.

I've been planning my escape from my current city of residence ever since I arrived here but I haven't moved because I haven't found a place that provides me with everything I want. Although it is only a matter of time, I'm hoping it's going to be sooner rather than later.

[JawZ]

maybe spontaniety is the wrong choice of word.

but ive been flirting with the idea of leaving to do traveling, but nothing has triggered me to do this.

I would like to visit Scandinavia, I also wouldnt mind spending some of the winter months within the Arctic Circle.

maybe im just content in the shiitty environments i find myself in cause they werent as **** as they were when i was unemployed few years back?

looking back i should of did some trtavelling when unemployed, but not knowing where to get source of income next was a worrying factor so at same time didnt want to up an atom...

Scandinavia intrigues me as well. It's one of the few places I would be consider moving to.

Anyway I've got lots of holiday left and some air miles to use up so when are we going? Sweden gets my vote too.

[Iffe]

Why Sweden..?

You should visit Denmark instead Steve - we got Bacon-a-lot

[JawZ]

i am more Norway when I think about going, just so I can say i have been to hell when it froze over
